The Science of Deduction

I’m quite enjoying Steven Moffat’s revitalisation of Sherlock at the moment. It’s a twentieth century tale of the world’s greatest detective; together with terrorists, kidnappings and forensics galore. It’s amazing that Sherlock is back from the dead and that Sherlock is always able to create a plan out of anything; but it’s suddenly revealed that he’s only part of a team that makes his actions happen. The genuine genius of Cumberbatch means that he gets to be a complete arse without having to explain anything to anyone. But it’s a shame that there only seems to be three feature-length episodes; surely it would be better to make it a full series. But surely it’s now going to be difficult to introduce a new villain to the series now that Jim Moriati is dead. Unless Holmes’s brother turns evil; or perhaps Moriati has cloned himself or has made a back-up plan, much like Jigsaw from Saw. That would be simply brilliant.
